Jack KingstonATLANTA – An Atlanta lawyer says he warned Rep. Jack Kingston’s U.S. Senate campaign about questionable contributions from a north Georgia fundraiser.
In an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, attorney Alex Kaufman said he shared the information during a May 1 meeting with Kingston’s campaign attorney and an attorney for the Georgia Republican Party.
Kaufman said he informed the two lawyers that money donated at the Dec. 6 fundraiser came from bundled checks from employees of companies who were given “bonuses” and told to contribute to the congressman’s Senate campaign.
Kaufman said he shared information about potential problems out of concern for the Kingston campaign.
“We’re not out to get (Kingston). We were out to help him,” Kaufman said.
